[QUOTE="Crimson_Blade, post: 1216236, member: 2177"] Recently, one of my players said that he didn't think that the characters should ever really die. While he was just whining of course, that comment and one of the better CRPGs Planescape:Torment gave me an interesting idea... What if, for some strange reason, none of the PCs could die? How could I make this especially important, plot-wise and character-wise? Obviously, it couldn't really work like Regeneration without drastically changing the game, so I was going to assume it was more of an automatic True Res a few minutes, hours, or days later...whatever is dramatically appropriate. Are there other immortals besides the PCs? Is there a way to permanently finish off an immortal? I'm really trying to avoid making this like Highlander where immortals kill each for power in special ways. Ugh. I was thinking of having immortal characters be a very recent development, and none of the PCs knows that they cannot die. Any thoughts or comments? [/QUOTE]
